1 Gulden Silver voucher

These silver vouchers — "zilverbons" in Dutch — were a holdover mechanism from an earlier colonial monetary framework, theoretically redeemable in silver coin but issued long after that convertibility had any practical meaning. Suriname was still an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of the Netherlands during this period, and the Centrale Bank van Suriname had only been established in 1957, meaning earlier notes in this series predate the territory's own central banking infrastructure entirely.

Enschedé's involvement is unsurprising given their near-monopoly on Dutch colonial currency printing throughout the twentieth century. The Haarlem firm had supplied Surinamese notes continuously for decades by this point.
